Which Version of He-Ro II Do You Want?

If He-Ro II (Dare) is ever released in MOTUC, which version would you want?

Would you want the Filmation concept (Barbarian look) or the NA He-Man repaint (silver instead of gold armour)?

Filmation He-Ro II:

NA Concept version:

I'm not great at photoshop (If someone CAN photoshop this picture for me, that would be amazing), but imagine NA He-Man's armour silver, his ponytail hair brown, with He-Man furry boots and Vy-Kron's bracelets/gloves:

WARNING! This is a page of The Unnamed One Mini-Comic. It's the only time we have EVER seen this New Adventures version of He-Ro II:

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

Personally, I still like the original Filmation design better. It's more distinct. The NA version just looks like something I could kitbash right now. I feel that the He-Ro should be something more than a simple NA He-Man repaint, that's all.

A little off-topic, but I've been meaning to ask you: is the girl in your avatar Skeletor's sister? Apparently there's another NA/Son of He-Man pitch where Skeletor's sister is the big bad.

I don't remember. I think that may be what the girl who cosplayed as a female Skeletor called herself. I was just taken aback when I learned of the Skeletor's sister thing. I think it was just last year I learned of that.

As for my feelings on He-Ro II, I like the Barbarian version. IF they gave him the silver chest armour, that would be cool...but I vote NO BLUE PANTS! Bow and NA He-Man already have that. MOTU isn't a Guess Jeans ad.

However, in Filmation's pitch circa 1988/89 for He-Man and the Masters of Space, a show featuring the characters from the new He-Man line, Skeletor did have a sister called Skeletrix and a nephew and niece called Funnybone and Hunnybone.

The Filmation one just looks like another basic barbarian. I admit the NA look needs some personalization in the armor, but overall I think the look is far more striking.

Not interested for SOH/SOS character or his era. Basically the whole thing makes the whole "Prophesized Twins of Power" story to lost its meaning and its importance. Sure it could be interesting to see what will happen at the future of MOTU, but at least make this future a couple hundred years after the He-Man/She-Ra era. Why bother for another He-Man's clone? So third option for me.

Actually, it's Keltra, she's a fan-created character that my friend and I made! We essentially got rid of Skeleteen and replaced him with a flirty, yet vicious, teenage daughter of Skeletor. Here's some of the artwork I've done for her...

If anyone's interested in my redesign of the Son of He-Man era, including my illustrations of He-Ro, Kay-La, Beast-Man, and Evil Lyn, here's the thread:

I didn't think of this option (and it's too late to change the poll), but what if we get the Barbarian version with two "vests"? His Barbarian one and the silver, NA He-Man one. The only difference would be, he wouldn't have blue pants. If you wanted him to look exactly like the mini-comic though, you would just need to put the head and armour on an NA He-Man figure. That way, everyone could have what they want, right? That might be the best option.

EDIT: Cool stuff, Micro-Man!

Actually, that would be perfect! It would be a great way of getting He-Ro II out there without having to also make a different Dare figure...NA He-Man could then be used for a third display option for that!

Going with NA Repaint look, because it's far enough removed from the Classic He-Man look to stand out on it's own as a look for a new character.
Also, correct me if I'm out of line here, but I would guess most NA fans think of NA He-Man as having the harness he wore in the cartoon, rather than the full space-suit style chest armor. So a silver version of that particular armor on a pants-wearing He-Ro with furry boots is, to me at least, unique enough a style to both pay homage to He-Mans that have come before without overdoing it. I mean, that Filmation bible image of He-Ro just looks like a He-Man wannabe, IMO.
